You're Always Going Too Soon
Eternal Memories: Reflecting on Friendship Lost
Lyrics
It's been a long time since we hung around together in the street
Reflecting on the past, recalling the time spent together in the streets.
And I miss those days, when the world would wait for us
Expressing nostalgia for a time when the world seemed to anticipate their actions.
With our crowd of friends we'd sit along the pavement near your house
Describing shared moments with a group of friends, often by your house.
'Till the sun came down and we brought the stars out
Recalling joyful times until evening, creating special memories.
When I heard it for the first time I could only stand and cry
Expressing deep emotional pain upon learning something distressing for the first time.
You were just a boy, we were all so innocent
Reflecting on the innocence of youth, highlighting the person's young age.
Oh we never thought this kind of thing would happen in our lives
Expressing shock that a tragic event happened, contrasting with earlier beliefs.
But it broke our hearts and we won't forget no
Emphasizing the lasting impact of the event on the speaker's heart and memory.
All this time has fallen through me since you've been gone
Feeling the passage of time since the person's departure.
And I wonder where you are
Expressing curiosity and concern about the person's whereabouts.
''cause you've never let me know
Expressing disappointment over the lack of communication from the absent person.
Oh no no
Reiterating the absence of communication or updates from the person.
You're always going too soon
Noting a pattern where the person leaves prematurely.
I'm always left on my own
Expressing the recurring feeling of being left alone.
It's OK I understand, sometimes life can hold you down
Understanding that life's challenges can sometimes weigh a person down.
I can see your face as clearly now, today, as I could then
Recalling memories of the person vividly, comparing the past with the present.
And it doesn't fade, but the times have changed so much
Acknowledging that memories remain vivid despite significant changes over time.
I would like to tell you all about the things that we have done
Expressing a desire to share experiences and catch up on past events.
And we're doing fine, but I think you know that
Assuring that things are going well but suspecting that the absent person already knows.
